IP unknown - what am I doing wrong?

[Joakim Schramm]

Hi,

have set up my nameservers with Ultradns and the new nameservers for the
domain was registrered with internic several days ago - but the domain
still seam "lost in space", what's wrong?

This is what I get on a local nslookup when telnetting (ssh actually)
into the server:

josch at ns:~ > nslookup www.astrocalc.com
Server:  ns.humanet.se
Address:  195.22.70.181

Name:    mercury.astrocalc.com
Address:  195.22.70.184
Aliases:  www.astrocalc.com
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
ns.humanet.se is the local host/dns on the box which I'm about to
replace, that's why I want to use ultradns, and there is no references
to it in my local zonefile. But still it seam to interfear with the
nameresolving in some way, which I don't understand.

This is what i get when make a nslookup using ns1.ultradns.net:

josch at ns:~ > nslookup www.astrocalc.com ns1.ultradns.net
Server:  ns1.ultradns.net
Address:  204.69.234.1

Name:    www.astrocalc.com.humanet.se

I can see something obviously is wrong here as it append "humanet.se" to
the name. There is no pointers to humanet.se or it's ip in the ultradns
configuration. Do I have to put a NS record for "ns1.ultradns.net" in
the 127.in-addr.arpa. zonefile?

This is my local zonefile for the domain "astrocalc.com":
;
